Task
Materials
One 10-frame per pair of students (see example below)
[IMG]
Counters, 10 per pair of students
Decks of number cards 0-5 (with 4 of each number) or two 0-5 dice
Setup
This activity is done in pairs. The students sit side by side with 10-frame and deck of cards or dice. If they have cards, the cards are shuffled and placed face down in front of them.
Action
Player 1 flips a card or rolls the die. They place that many counters on the 10-frame. Player 2 flips a card or rolls the die. They place that many more counters on the 10-frame next to the counters already on the ten frame. The students count the total together.
A recording sheet can be added when the students have been introduced to equations and number sentences. For those students who can handle higher numbers, a deck of 0-10 cards and two 10-frames can be used.
This game can also be played alone.

K
options: Work with numbers 11–19 to gain foundations for place value.

Understand place value.

Use place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multi-digit arithmetic.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to whole numbers less than or equal to 1,000,000.

Understand the place value system.

Use place value understanding and properties of operations to add and subtract.

Use place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multi-digit arithmetic. (A range of algorithms may be used.)

Extend the counting sequence.

Generalize place value understanding for multi-digit whole numbers.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to whole numbers less than or equal to 1,000,000.

Perform operations with multi-digit whole numbers and with decimals to hundredths.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this warm-up is to elicit the idea that there are different ways to calculate a product, using the standard algorithm, which will be useful when students find products of a 3-digit number and a 2-digit number in a way that makes sense to them.

Activity Synthesis
“Why do you think the results of the two calculations are the same?” (The factors are the same, just in a different order. The order of the factors does not change the result of multiplication.)
"Which way would you prefer to find the value of
\(417 \times 28\)
?" (I like the one with two partial products as there is less adding up to do.)
"Today you will get to choose how to find products of a 3-digit number and a 2-digit number.
